Chameleon Magazine

 💎🇫🇷Oh, the irony. Two centuries after Napoleon pillaged Europe like a toddler in a toy store, his own jewels have been nicked — in seven minutes flat. Seven. That’s less time than it takes to queue for a croissant in Paris. In one of the slickest heists in recent memory, thieves made off with priceless artefacts that once sparkled on the empire’s most self-obsessed head.

Now, French authorities are in panic mode, combing through CCTV footage and hoping history doesn’t repeat itself — which, of course, it just did.

🕰️ History’s Favorite Hobby: Stealing What’s Already Stolen

Let’s be honest — when it comes to royal treasures, “ownership” is a very flexible concept. Napoleon’s collection wasn’t exactly acquired through Etsy or honest labour. Most of Europe’s palaces are basically crime scenes with chandeliers. From Egypt’s obelisks to Italy’s art, France built an empire one souvenir at a time.

So maybe this is just karma with good timing. The thief’s thief. The plunderer plundered. The loot getting looted back.

And what a heist! A high-speed precision job, executed with the kind of flair Napoleon himself would’ve admired — minus the exile and the short jokes. The French press calls it a “national tragedy.” Others might call it poetic justice wrapped in velvet gloves.

Somewhere, a mysterious collector is polishing a diamond and whispering, “Vive la révolution.” 💰💨
